One of the largest food commodities exported from the developing countries to the rest of the world, cocoa has gained increasing attention on the global market—raising many questions about its quality, sustainability and traceability. Cocoa Production and Processing Technology presents detailed explanations of the technologies that could be employed to assure sustainable production of high-quality and safe cocoa beans for the global confectionary industry. It provides overviews of up-to-date technologies and approaches to modern cocoa production practices, global production and consumption trends as well as principles of cocoa processing and chocolate manufacture. The book covers the origin, history and taxonomy of cocoa, and examines the fairtrade and organic cocoa industries and their influence on smallholder farmers. The chapters provide in-depth coverage of cocoa cultivation, harvesting and post-harvest treatments with a focus on cocoa bean composition, genotypic variations and their influence on quality, post-harvest pre-treatments, fermentation techniques, drying, storage and transportation. The author provides details on cocoa fermentation processes as well as the biochemical and microbiological changes involved and how they influence flavour. He also addresses cocoa trading systems, bean selection and quality criteria, as well as industrial processing of fermented and dried cocoa beans into liquor, cake, butter and powder. The book examines the general principles of chocolate manufacture, detailing the various stages of the processes involved, the factors that influence the quality characteristics and strategies to avoid post-processing quality defects. This volume presents innovative techniques for sustainability and traceability in high-quality cocoa production and explores new product development with potential for cost reduction as well as improved cocoa bean and chocolate product quality.

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.), is a plantation commodity with high economic value. Cocoa is a type of plantation crop that is very popular with its fruit processing. Chocolate is a product derived from cocoa beans. This plant, which is the raw material for chocolate, can bear fruit throughout the year. This plant is a tropical plant that is suitable for soil culture and climate in Indonesia. We have written this textbook for graduate students and researchers in field of agricultural, especially cocoa cultivation. This book was compiled as a form of learning reference book for the cultivation of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.). In the literature, preference has been given to more recent publications. Nevertheless, representative examples of classical contributions are also cited in the various sections. Although this book is written by 2 persons, it is nevertheless the product of cooperation at various levels. Our interest in plant cultivation and integrated pest and disease control of plant.

A highly nutritious crop, cocoa constitutes a significant source of income for small-scale producers. Attractively presented, with full-colour illustrations, tables and step-by-step guides, the text clearly sets out the procedure to start growing cocoa. In addition to recommending a technical schedule for the production of cocoa plants, the guide stresses the importance of phytosanitary protection and post-harvest operations. Useful advice and economic information on the sector is also given in later chapters.
